S&L CCC bronce

[javi_e]

hi all,

i would like to hear your opinions about this CCC.
I think it´s made by S&L and perhaps the 1.16.2 in Tom´s book??

perhaps I´m wrong and it´s a fake....

Hi Javi,

No no, this is just a variant of Reproduction #5 (butterknife fake)! This is the common F&BL marked fake that has been around for years and most people have caught on to these, so the faker is starting to pop them WITHOUT the maker mark to try and make it harder to detect.......and it is working.

This is no S&L! Compare the obverse of this CCC with the Repreduction #5 on page 284 of the CCC book. Same fakers that make the FLL fake (Reproduction #8 in the CCC book) and the same guys that make the MH CCC fake.
